Creepy AI: A traffic information sign

In the crazy, lovesick Los Angeles of the early '90s, TV weatherman Harris Telemacher's (Steve Martin) only true friend and spiritual advisor to help him win the heart of visiting reporter Sarah (Victoria Tennant) is an inexplicably sentient roadside freeway sign.

It's given him potted psychology, romantic inspiration and even expressed its desire to become a director. But when it asks for a hug, things turn a little unnerving. Harris hesitantly puts his arms around the base of the 30-foot steel pole, and the display reads, “That felt goooooooood” -- the graphics roiling languidly, as if post-coital.
